lutions were also passed fayoring eight
y hours work for letter carriers; women
i equality; extending theschool age in chill

or OF free public libraries; a state printing
department.; the Australian system OF a
| secret ballot; the prohibition OF the EN-.
pigment of armed detectives; denouncing
class legislation and the MISREPRESENTATION
OF public funds.
The platform says among other things:
We aim at the abolition OF the system
which coupels men to pay their fellow
creatures for the use OF Gods gifts to all
and permits monopolizers to deprive labor
of natural opportunities for employment
thus filling the land with tramps and pau
pers and bringing about an unnatural
competition which tends to reduce wages
to starvation rates and to make the wealth
producer the Industrial slave OF those
who grew rich by his toll. We aim at the
abolition OF the system which makes such
benefcent inventions as the railroad and
I telegraph a means for the oppression of
the people and the aggrandizenent OF an
artist ocracy OF wealth and power. We aim
at the abolition OF all laws which give to
any class OF citizens advantages either ju-
dicial, financial industrial or political
that are not equally shared by all. We
call upon all who would effect the emanci-
patton OF labor and who would make the
i American Union and it's COM
ponent states democratic common
wealths OF really free and independent
citizens, to ignore the, monopolists and
Join with us in organizing great national
/ party on this broad pla atform OF natural
rights and equal justice. We do not aim
at securing any forced equality in the dis
tribution OF wealth. What we propose is
not the disturbing OF any man in his hold
ing or title, but by abolishing all taxes on
industry and it's products leave to the pro-
1 ducer the free fruits of his exertion and by
I the taxation OF land values exclusive OF
/ lmpr to devote to common use
those values which, arising not from the
exertion OF the individual. but from the
growth OF society belonging justly to the
community as whole. This increased tax
/
| according to it's value must, while relieving
! the working farmer and small homestead
owner OF the undue burden now imposed
| upon them, make it unprofitahle to hold
for speculation, and thus throw open
i abundant opportunities for the employ
ment OF labor and the building up OF
| homes. We would further promote the
! commonwealth and further secure the
| equal rights OF all by placing under public
! control such agencies as are in their ma
ture monopoles. Wefavor such as may
! tend to reduce the hours of labor, to pre-
!, vent the employment OF children OF tender
! years, to avoid the competition Of convict
labor with honest industry, to secure the
sanitary inspection OF tenements factories
and mines, and put an end to the abuse of
conspiracy lays. l
| Interesting Features Of Paymaster Bash's Rob.
! berry. a-m
Omaha, Special-The arrest OF Charles
Parker, the cowboy and highwayman who
! last spring robbed Paymaster Bash ofSS,-
600 at Antelope Springs, Wyo., has devel.
oped very sensational features. Parker
was arrested in Logan county, Neb. After
robbing Bash he located iu Logan county
| and went into businesses with the stolen
money. He built a rude store fifty miles
] northwest OF Candy. and purchased a
! lot of horses and cattle. His money being
all new bills he was soon suspected. Dep
| uty Sheriff Carter. with a strong posse,
undertook to arrest him on warrant
charging the robbery OF Paymaster Bash.
Parker fired several shots and stood off
the posse, after which they left him alone.
days ago three men named Bagnall,
Lucas and johnson went to Parker's
store, and getting the drop
on him while he was eating his supper ar
rested him. They claimed to be United
States deputy marshals, but in fact they
were frauds. Taking Parker into the
/ hills, they robbed him OF $2,l and
a horse. Then they let him go. The
horse, however, belonged to another party,
who caused the arrest OF Bagnalt Lucas
and johnson, at Plum Creek. On Wednes-
day the 17th these men secured their release
through the aid OF lawyers, who got most
of their money as fee. Parker, who had
followed the three men as far as Candy,
was arrested there by Sheriff Doane after
despesate fight. Parker drew revolver
and knife, but was tightly held by Doane.
! Parker then got one OF Doane's fingers in
his mouth and held it there, and severely
stabbed him in the other arm. A crowd
dsarmed Parker, who still held on to
Doanes finger and would not let go until
4 some one ran a knife into his throat. He
was bound hand and foot and taken to
out there. His bail was fixed at 81, 800,
which he could not give. He will be taken
to Cheyenne. Paymaster Bash was tried
by court martial for negligence and sus-
pended until the amount stolen by Parker
is nude good to the government.
